Best bet do not spend money on this product get it sprayed it doesnt give enough wprking time yoi go through all this time and money prepping just to get these results. Its nothing to do with the applicator the product does not give you enough tome its so freakin stupid

Battery goes under the back seat inside the car…but first you need some non see-thru floor pans for that haha. The engine is maybe the easiest thing you’ve got ahead of you 😂. Go get yourself a copy of John Muir’s How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive: A Manual of Step by Step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot. Trust me you won’t regret it. It’s as entertaining as it is informative. Good luck!

Valve stem seals when worn, will make the exhaust gasses turn blue! Your fuel-tank would benefit from a good clean and after that, use some white liquid tank sealer, "shake it about to cover all the inside", as you have rust pimples inside it, which will turn into holes soon! When using a puller, You tighten it up, "then" You give the "bolt" a sharp tap with a Hammer, Only once, you don't need to keep hitting it ! If it does not pop off, tighten a bit more, then tap it once again. Bingo, the wheel will pop up, job done. 👍

I had the same problem and I used the supplied applicator. I’m thinking this product can be useful in some scenarios but (like ceramic coatings) there is a learning curve to get the best results. I might try on another beater vehicle where anything is an improvement to see if I can do better.

On my 1988 F150 replacing the oil pan gasket is a nightmare of a job. Loosen motor mounts and transmission mounts. Remove upper intake manifold. Jack up engine. Drop pan a few inches and then reach in and remove oil pump and pickup tube. Then work the pan out between the bottom of the engine and the support beam. Sure wish I had known that the rear seal could be replaced without removing the transmission.

I've watched this over and over. I noticed you used the edge of the application pad which has stiching which put grooves in the clear. I watched Poppy's Patina page applications and they used the flat of the applicator pad.
@NeilAbalone
@NeilAbalone Месяц назад
ya the first thing i noticed was how little clear coat you put on the pad. the clear coat can't flow out into dry areas that have no paint on them. it can only level out the high and the low spots within well coated areas. and it may need multiple coats
@jdavis8604
@jdavis8604 2 дня назад
Doesn't matter it does not give enough time to get a good coat on there no matter what area of the cloth you use. You cannot get a good coat without coming back a minute later and finding dry spots its not worth it to sand and go through all that again

I just applied the satin kit on my 1950 truck. Followed their instructions to a T. Scrubbed all flaking off, scuffed with a maroon scotch pad, washed it twice. Washed it again with their supplied gray pad. Then used the wax/oil remover. I let it dry completely, wiped it down with a terry cloth before applying with their supplied applicator. It streaked horribly. Spent a couple hours the next day scuffing, wiped it down again and it streaked again…. Not impressed - especially with the cost. I guess I’m sanding it off and going a different direction.
@flipflopsgarage
@flipflopsgarage 4 месяца назад
Sorry to hear you are having the same issues. I’ve tried again and did exactly what you did and it did the same thing. I’m thinking it maybe the satin only. I saw one recently done in flat and it didn’t streak at all. As a last resort I’m going to try and spray it.

@flipflopsgarage
@flipflopsgarage 4 месяца назад
It does self time/learn. But it’s like any other system including factory cars. It errors on the side of caution and leaves something on the table. As far as going back to a carb never again. I’d be giving up power and reliability along with driveability. I’m sure my carb issues were my own but I can tune this way better than I could a carb.

I was a carb guy all my life until 2018, I never liked the idea of relying on electronics to get me where I wanted to go. Then I bought my first Sniper and (5) snipers later I don’t own a single carburetor vehicle. Not only do they all run better, They get better mileage, Make more average HP……But my biggest pro is ZERO fuel boiling issues on those Hot Summer days. Tuning a metered fuel leak aka (Carburetor) is a challenge especially if you trip drive (which I do) with my Hot Rods and Sleds……With the Sniper those problems don’t exist. I have a 49 Olds sled with a Blue Print 400 SBC with a 700R4 in the car and went from a best of 15 MPG 356 HP to the rear tire to a whopping 19 MPG and 368 HP to the rear tire. $ well spent

If I can run a 1970 CB450 with a OEM truck ECU, you can make it work on this Ford. If you want to stay distributor, it'll do it; if you want coil per plug, it'll do it. $50 OBDLink SX and the free software Universal Patcher. Changes everything HPTuners can. "Why re-invent the wheel?" Well, that's the only thing you would need to "invent", for the crank sensor. I have videos showing my crank sensor setup, and then demoing it with a hamfisted crap tune hitting 8K RPM. Search "(P59 + CB450)" and you'll find it. Always read video descriptions for more info.
